• How would recreate the pagefile to a Windows 2008 virtual computer running on a host ESX 3i?

  As the subject says, I'm looking for a way to do this.  I inherited the environment of another group and it is very small, but it performs ESX 3i on the two hosts and Vcenter version 2.5 (Infrastructure) is a bit old.  5 of 6 VM are operational, however, the 6th when turned on will not get 40% full, but then it will fail to stating that is not a swap file.  Now, normally it is not a swap file, because they are created or deleted dynamically whenever a virtual computer is powered on one of the hosts.  It's quite strange.

  In the new versions / environments, there seem to be ways to recreate exchange capacity easily, but which doesn't seem to be the case here.  I don't think it's a process lock as the two hosts have restarted to clear HA agent / editions of the resource.  My guess is this has happened has been one of the hosts could not reproduce any more process for some reason any and when the VM problem has been powered down to try to erase some, the problem occurred.  Either that, or there are unreadable sectors in the data store, and perforated in this swap file black...

  I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to solve the problem.  Any input would be welcome.

  Thank you!

  All,

  Thanks for the suggestions, but I solved the problem.  What needed to be done was to remove the virtual machine of the inventory and then re-create it as a new virtual machine under the cluster of the same name, same settings and have it use its 2 existing virtual disks.  For some stupid reason, once this is done, he managed to turn on normally and now runs without problem.

  I'm not necessarily happy that this solution because it does not really help understand me what underlying the problem actually was, but I guess I can live with that.  The reason why I have not tried it earlier, is that I was afraid the vmdk would be replaced and I wanted to keep the existing information.  However, someone I work with was certain that they had done before, and that she maintained the pre-existing data, even in this older version, so I finally tried.

  in any case, thanks for the support, and if someone can glean some root causes of the problem based on the solution I have just given, that would be helpful.

• Printing to a printer from a virtual computer network

  I hope I'm not too much of an easy situation, but is there a FAQ thread for printing on a network from a virtual computer printer please?

  
  

  I just spent an hour setting up a network printer in a VM with forward gun they realized that, then my network is 192.168.1.1, (the printer is 192.168.1.113 and side Mac can see another printer on the network) virtual machine network seems to reside at 192.168.236.2

  Canon has a process of installing network printers, but he can't see the network printer when he's looking for printers.
  

  
  

  They say that my computer is not on the same network where the printer is located.
  

  You're running bridged or NAT networking?

• The unreliable virtual computer network connectivity

  Hello

  We had the rest of Setup that worked for more than a year without problem.

  Three ESX hosts with 20 VMS with ESX 3.5.0,176894

  Since last week, we have a problem with a virtual machine us were imported initially from a physical machine about a year ago.

  We will apply the updates on ESX hosts on a regular basis, maybe the problem must be something with the updates.

  VMWare Tools are up-to-date on all virtual machines.

  A virtual machine, called IKARUS (Windows Server 2000 SP4) is perfectly pingeable of other virtual machines on the same host but very insensitive if ping virtual machines on physical machines or other hosts.

  Move the virtual machine to another host doesn't change anything about this behavior.

  Other virtual machines have not had the problem.

  Anyome has an idea, what could be the problem and how to overcome this problem.

  Rgds

  Hello

  I think that you will need to focus on the virtual machine itself and, possibly, your physical network components.

  A possible field of study is your mac physical switch table limit.

  I would look in the machine virtual Windows updates that affect the denial of service areas. Somtimes there is change of limit for syn issue receipts within a specific time etc..

  It wouldn't hurt to uninstall and reinstall the form of the adapter in the instance of the VM OS quickly sets in method.

  Kind regards

• Hi ALL, did any attempt on the virtual computer NETWORK load balancing using HYPERV on UCS blades

  I try to configure the CASE server cluster by using the Unicast NLB on the virtual machine on different blades on the UCS, it works for awhile, then he abandoned packages.

  I heard that this screenplay of unicast is not supported in the UCS when she used END-host mode in the fabric interconnet...? any attempted before.

  Would it, I use the multicast mode is that something needs to be done on the FBI62020 or the LAN switch upstream. ??

  Header note I found on the implementation of UCS for mulitcast NLBL:

  Microsoft NLB can be deployed in 3 modes:

  Unicast

  Multicast

  IGMP multicast

  For series B UCS deployments, we have seen that the multicast and IGMP multicast work.

  IGMP multicast mode seems to be the more reliable deployment mode.

  To do this, the monitoring settings:

  All NLB Microsoft value "Multicast IGMP" nodes.  Important!  Check ths by logging into EACH node independently.  Do not rely on the MMC of NLB snap.

  An IGMP applicant must be present on the VLAN of NLB.  If PIM is enabled on the VIRTUAL LAN that is your interrogator.  UCS cannot function as applicant IGMP.  If an interrogator of functioning is not present, NLB IGMP mode will not work.

  You must have a static ARP entry on cheating it upstream pointing IP address Unicast NLB on the multicast MAC address NETWORK load balancing.  This need will set up, of course, on the VLAN of the NLB VIP. The key is that the routing for the NLB VLAN interface must use this ARP entry as a unicast IP ARP response may not contain a multicast mac address. (Violation of the RFC 1812)  Hosts on the NLB VLAN must also use the static entry.  You may have several entries ARP.  IOS can use a function of 'alias' of ARP. (Google it.)

  How Microsoft NLB works. -The truncated for brevity Mac addresses.

  TOPOLOGY OF NLB MS

  NETWORK VLAN 10 = subnet 10.1.1.0/24 IP load balancing

  VIP = 10.1.1.10 NETWORK LOAD BALANCING

  Arp entry static switch advanced IP 10.1.1.10 upstream to MAC 01

  NLB VIP (MAC 01, IP 10.1.1.10)

  NODE-A (AA, MAC IP:10.1.1.88)

  NŒUD-B (MAC BB, IP:10.1.1.99)

  Using the IGMP snooping and interrogator VLAN snooping table is filled with the mac NLB address and groups pointing to the appropriate L2 ports.

  MS NLB nodes will send the responses of IGMP queries.

  This snooping table could take 30 to 60 seconds to complete.

  Host on VLAN 200 (10.200.1.35) sends traffic to NETWORK VIP (10.1.1.10) load balancing

  It goes of course to VLAN 10 interface that uses the static ARP entry to resolve to address MAC 01 VIP NETWORK load balancing.

  Since it is a multicast frame destination it will be forward by the IGMP snooping table.

  The framework will arrive at ALL NLB nodes. (NŒUD-A & NŒUD-B)

  NLB nodes will use its load balancing algorithm to determine which node will manage the TCP session.

  Only one NLB node will respond to this host with TCP ACK to start the session.

  NOTES

  This works in a VMware with N1k, standard vSwtich and vDS environment. Where surveillance IGMP is not enabled, the framing for VIP MAC NETWORK load balancing will be flooded.

  NLB can only work with TCP-based services.

  As stated previously mapping an IP unicast to a multicast mac address is a violation implied by RFC 1812.

  TROUBLESHOOTING

  Make sure your interrogator is working. Just to clarify that this does not mean that it is actually at work.

  Wireshark lets check that IGMP queries are received by the NLB nodes.

  Make sure that the ARP response works as expected.  Once Wireshark again is your friend.

  Look at the paintings IGMP snooping. Validate the L2 ports appearing as expected.

  CSCtx27555 [Bug-preview for CSCtx27555] Unknown multicast with destination outside the range MAC 01:xx: are deleted. (6200 FI fixed in 2.0.2m)

  fixed in 2.0(2m)

  Solution: Change the NLB mode of operation of "Multicast" to "multicast IGMP', which modifies balancing load NETWORK VIP MAC at 0100.5exx.xxx Beach, allows to transfer occur as expected.

  Q: and if I switch to switch mode, which means all of the profile and the settings on the servers are completely exhausted and I need to recreate them. ???

• VMWare Fusion 8.1 fall on a virtual computer network connection

  I upgraded from VMWare Fusion 7.1.2 to VMWare Fusion 8.1 and also updated my Vagrant VMWare Fusion plugin to the latest version.

• How to change the type of adapter on a virtual computer network

  Hello

  I'm testing the network drivers in the virtual machine. My current VM has a 79 c 970 AMD Ethernet controller but I want to test different drivers. so is it possible for me to use another Ethernet controller type on a virtual machine? For example all cards Realtek?

  Currently, I use VMware Workstation 7.

  Thank you

  Zheng Da

  You do not have a lot of choices:

  -Without VMware tools, you will be using the vlance network adapter

  -With VMware tools, by default, you use the VMware AMD Pcnet network adapter

  -You can change inside the VMX configuration file and insert the following line:

  ethernetX.virtualDev = "e1000".

  Where X is the number of your network adapter (0 for the first, 1 for the secod, etc...). This will transform the adapter in an Intel PRO 1000.

• Assign a port to a specific virtual machine network and combine ports

  Hello

  I have two questions.  1. is it possible to assign a specific to a single virtual computer network port? and 2. I can aggregate multiple physical port to act as 1 and have a virtual port to VMS?

  I'm new to VMware so please forgive me if this is a fundamental issue.  I tried googleing the issue but did not have much luck.  I have a Dell R710 with 4 physical network ports.  Currently all the virtual machines on the host sharing a port.  I would like to use one of the ports and assign it to a specific virtual machine and only this VM.  One of the virtual machines is my / home server and NFS exports him / home dirs to other systems.  This virtual machine will be cumbersome to use network.  I want to assign its own network for its traffic port does not impede the movement of other virtual machines.

  I would also like to consolidate other ports into a single virtual port.

  If you can tell me a document that explains how to do this, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the VMware communities forum.   With the default installation of ESXi, a single virtual switch (vSwitch0) is created using vmnic0.   If you want to add additional NIC ports simply go to Configuration > network and then click the properties link to the vSwitch.  Click network adapters, and then click Add to add another NIC port.   ESXi then balance the network traffic load.

  You could dedicate a NIC port to a virtual machine, but possibility of ESXi to balance the traffic load I would simply add additional NETWORK adapter ports to vSwitch0.  If your network needs simply to include VM and management traffic, then I would have simply put all 4 ports NETWORK card in vSwitch0 and let ESXi manage traffic.  This way, you get as much redundancy.

  If you use network storage for your virtual machines (such as iSCSI) then you can consider segment this traffic.  In this case create you a new vSwitch and that a link to 2 (i.e. 2 NETWORK ports for iSCSI) NETWORK ports and then other 2 NETWORK ports in vSwitch0 for ranks of VM traffic.

  VMware now offers a right to training free ESXi.  See the first link below.

• Move-vm can migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster?

  When I try to move-vm has propelled off VM to a destination of DRS cluster, he says that he cannot migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster.   I can explicitly name the destination of the host and it works, but that defeats the purpose of using the DRS and forces me to script on the destination hosts.

  I do something wrong or I would be able to migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster?

  Thank you

  -MattG

  Hello, MattG-

  I get the same behavior as you when you try to move a VM PoweredOff to a DRS cluster, specifying the cluster as the value for the parameter - Destination to Move-VM (using PowerCLI v5.1 Rel 2 v5.5 Rel 1).  Not quite what I expected.

  To work around the problem, and without having to appoint a particular host as destination, you could use some Get-Random, do something like:

  Move-VM myVM0 -Destination (Get-Cluster myDestDRSCluster | Get-VMHost | ?{$_.State -eq "Connected"} | Get-Random) -RunAsync
  

  Who should receive the machine said cluster and on a host that is in the connected state.  A subsequent operation to the market (whenever do you eventually) should then see DRS power on the virtual machine on a suitable host in the cluster.

  Maybe the dev team can comment if this behavior is the expected or desired.

  Anyway, how does do for you?

• Best way to migrate without Vmotion virtual computer

  Hi all

  I was wondering if you have ESX vmotion but have HA which is the best way to migrate the virtual computer on to the oringal in a cluster host when HA moves a virtual machine because of a failure of the host.

  I know that you can export the VM over the other host when he returns to the top and you can add it to the inventory if it is a hardware failure and the original host will not return upward anytime soon.  What is the best way to achieve this?  is there maybe a console command to grow HA a virtual machine over another host or export is still the best way?

  Welcome to the forums - with vmotion output, there is no way to do it with out the time - the easiest way is to turn off the virtual machine - unsubscribe form the host is on - don't use the browser to store data on the second andreadd from host to host and turn on the virtual machine - you should be able to do this in less than 5 minutes.

  If you find this or any other answer useful please consider awarding points marking the answer correct or useful

• How to force use of the VM a specific host in a cluster?

  I use vSphere vSphere Web Client 5.5 thru 5.0U2.

  When I create a virtual machine, I specify a host in a cluster as computing resources.  However, when I turn on the virtual machine, it uses another host.   How can I configure the virtual machine to use only a specific host in the cluster?

  Use the DRS-> Virtual Machine Options to disable the level of automation for the virtual machine. Who will be actually anchor her to this host. You could also put the VM on local storage or attach too to a resource (DVD-ROM) on this host, but the road of the DRS is the best way to go.

• Is it possible I can get the virtual computer connectivity after restart to connect to the local network in the host operating system?

  Hi all

  For some reason, I have to disable and then enable the LAN connection in the host operating system. If some virtual machines are running during this time, connectivity all VMs for out-of-world are lost, they cannot connect to the host even more (by running the ping command). I tried a few methods to retrieve the connectivity, but all have failed, for example,

  1. reboot the virtual computer

  2. restart VMware Workstation

  3. restart the corresponding system services in the host operating system

  The only way I can retrieve all is to restart the host operating system itself.

  Yes, is there short any path, I can retrieve the connectivity of these virtual machines?

  Thanks in advance.

• Error message: «the virtual network on the host computer drivers are incompatible...» »

  Just bought a new computer that is running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.

  I installed VMWare Workstation 6.5.1 build 126130.

  I copied on a machine virtual from the old computer (running Windows XP Pro and VMWare Workstation 5.0.0 build 13124). I improved this VM Workstation 6.5. This virtual machine is currently running Windows XP Pro.

  When I run the virtual machine on the new computer, I get the following error message:

  "The virtual network on the host computer drivers are incompatible with the installed application of VMWare. Version expected 5. Please reinstall the product. Virtual device Ethernet0 will start disconnected. »

  Note that the virtual machine runs; I don't have any network capacity.

  I read the thread http://communities.vmware.com/thread/186731, who seems to have the same problem. He had installed 6.5 on 5.5; When he uninstalled and deleted all of the directories, and then reinstalled everything went well.

  I don't have any product VMware existing on the computer that would cause this type of conflict.

  So, what should I try to fix this?

• way which restrict what networks is connected to a virtual computer simultaneously

  Hello

  We try to combine the two clusters of different vsphere into one in order to get the best use of our computing resources.  Each group has its own set of networks inside.  In order to consolidate the two clusters, we would need to present the two networks on the same cluster together.  Group A has a unique network and Cluster B has 4 networks located behind a firewall for use off-production.

  Our team of network security was a concern for someone to create a virtual machine with two network cards for a vNIC originally in Group A network connection and an another vNIC connect to a network in Cluster B which is located behind the firewall by creating a bridge between two networks that could bypass the firewall.

  Is there a way to deny the ability to have the network of Group A and B cluster network be on the same VM?  Almost like a rule of affinity when you do not allow two different networks on the same VM?  I couldn't find anything on this point and do not know if this is even a feature support, but I thought I'd see if anyone knew.

  We are running vSphere 5.0 U3 and want to move to vSphere 6 shortly.  We also use switch Cisco Nexus 1000v for both groups.

  Thanks in advance!

  -Michael

  Welcome to the community - if I understand your question, you want to move all hosts in single cluster - if it is the case that the answer is no - if anyone has the ability to create the VM in this cluster they will be able to connect to any network in this cluster - if you put two separate cluster, you would be able to assign permissions to each cluster that allows users the ability to create machines only virtual only within their group.
